This community based dig is really neat. We have a mammoth excavation going in eastern Washington State, USA. Three guys in their sixties chipped in a couple of thousand dollars each to get the ball rolling and numerous community volunteers have devoted two weekends a month to begin unearthing a Columbian mammoth buried in deposits from up to four of the great outburst floods of Glacial Lake Missoula. A recent carbon 14 date says that the animal is 17,449 years old. Furthermore, we are reaching out to school kids to get involved and many have responded positively. The project goes by the name "MCBONES Coyote Canyon Mammoth Dig". Do an internet search.
